Note that even Obama couldn't tolerate truly open borders...although he was inching closer. Would Warren be that reckless?

Of course this is of fundamental concern to the Dems since they seek many millions of supporters from unenforced immigration law (as if, anyway, they support enforcement of ANY duly established law with which they disagree; they are determined, in their present minority, to empower a new "electoral" process independent of elections). Since they consider themselves undeniably just, they consider this essential and infinitely defensible.

Will he be "out of a job"? It could easily happen. If no new deal coalesces, then he may or may not FORMALLY request an extension, but informally he'll do everything in his power to prevent one. That might goad Parliament into voting no confidence. It might be the only way left for them to avoid a "no deal" Brexit. Then again, even removing Johnson wouldn't necessarily achieve that objective, because they'd have to choose a new government, and they've shown no ability to do so. We might see a "no deal" outcome simply because the clock runs out.<br /><br />I have more faith in the polls than you do, although some of them are clearly designed to boost the Dems. I also believe enthusiasm for impeachment will fade with time...<br /><br />The Liz Warren pregnancy-gate thing is interesting. She's got a lot going against her, and if we add dishonesty to the list she could be a real stinker in 2020! I hope so. On the other hand, we want her to get the nomination first...and THEN crash and burn.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-46678022033192650062019-10-09T17:46:34.276-04:002019-10-09T17:46:34.276-04:00I think Johnson is backed into a corner with no wa...I think Johnson is backed into a corner with no way out. I see no deal and I also think Johnson will be out of a job sooner than later. <br /><br />I don't put any stock in the polls anymore as they were so wrong in the 2016 election. I also think they are backed into a corner and there is no way out,Shifty Schiff is def. feeling the most pain, but for whatever reason, he refuses to back down.<br /><br />Ah, Liz Warren. I do believe her version of being fired while pregnant will blow up in her face. I just don't believe women in particular believe it (at least the ones I have spoken too).Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466115918585699329noreply@blogger.com
